According to ARC Advisory Group’s research, the pharmaceutical and biotech industry is seeing rapid transformation through digitalization, led by major US and European firms expanding via mergers and acquisitions, especially in biotech. R&D cycles are shortening, and technologies like CRISPR and AI are accelerating innovation and manufacturing. The growing use of virtual testing and digital documentation is driving demand for advanced equipment and generating large volumes of operational data. This trend is shaped by demographic pressures, particularly aging populations in both developed and emerging economies, and reinforced by the pandemic’s spotlight on healthcare infrastructure.
"Globalization is boosting demand in emerging markets but increasing cost pressures in mature ones. Companies are adopting advanced software — AI-driven supply chain platforms, manufacturing execution systems, and predictive analytics — to improve agility, compliance, and efficiency. Digital transformation is at the heart of this evolution. AI, cloud platforms, and advanced analytics are enabling smarter, more adaptive operations. Industrial IoT and predictive analytics are redefining asset management, shifting from reactive maintenance to proactive reliability strategies. SaaS- based Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) platforms are becoming essential for real-time orchestration and sustainability alignment,” according to Emilio Posa, Analyst and key author of ARC's Pharmaceutical & Biotech Focused Analysis for Industrial Software Market Research.
